Lagmore East is a Neolithic chambered cairn and stone circle located in Banffshire, Scotland. The site comprises both a megalithic burial structure and an associated stone circle, reflecting the ritual and funerary practices of Neolithic communities in northeast Scotland. The chambered cairn element represents the burial architecture characteristic of the fourth and third millennia before the present, whilst the stone circle indicates later ceremonial or astronomical significance, possibly dating to the Bronze Age. The monument's dual composition makes it a valuable record of prolonged ritual use of the landscape across several millennia of prehistory.
